After all, what’s happening on the inside shapes and colours everything that’s happening on the outside. And, in some situations, the only thing we can control or change is who we are being internally.

Take the Long ViewDave Butler: Basketball to the Boardroom – Meet The co-CEO of DimensionalMatt says Dave Butler is one of the most important figures in modern investing. Dave’s path to co-CEO of Dimensional was not a straight one. In fact, it required a detour to Istanbul. Enjoy this conversation taped in Austin, TX. Reaching a height taller than most (6’9”, by some accounts), it was almost inevitable that Dave Butler would play basketball. When an NBA players’ strike meddled with Dave’s professional tryouts, he accepted an offer to try out for a professional team in Istanbul. He nailed it, and for several years played overseas. Unfortunately, an injury derailed his career...2019-06-1747 minDo Life Better Podcast85: Being Open To Everything And Affected By Nothing (Part 2) with Matt GriggsThis is the second half of the conversation with Matt Griggs and we pick it up just after Matt spoke about the extra clarity, awareness, presence and openness that comes from practicing Kelee meditation.

America's love affair with Hamilton has probably reached its half-life, but that didn't stop the Brookfield Zoo from naming a camel after the musical.
